Battlefield 3 problems with ZA Extreme Security

I'm sure this has been answered to death, but I just cannot find a definitive answer here or on Google, so please bear with me.

I just cannot play BF3 since upgrading to ZA Extreme Security, whether it's in Game Mode or not!

I know I can play, because as soon as I exit from ZA, i'm in and playing, but I'd prefer to leave ZA running.

In previous ZA's I thought I could enter 'port ranges' in Application Control/View Programs/Options/Expert Rules/Add/Modify Protocols/Add Protocol, but it will not and only wants a number and will not accept a dash '-'.

So I'm thinking that either there's something wrong with my ZA, or I've forgotten the correct way of doing it, and the port ranges can only be entered into the firewall area?

My concern then is, even if the game is not running, then these ports stay open, do they not??

So, could someone please tell me the correct and safest way to allow BF3 to run (and other games for that matter), without leaving me naked after the game's over?

Re: Battlefield 3 problems with ZA Extreme Security

Running it here without problems. Do you actually tick on disabling the web security while on the pop-up of GAME MODE? If you do not do this BF3 will not work. Also you will need some few seconds before running BF3 as forcefield.exe (part of ZA) must shutdown for BF3 to work correctly.

Indeed, not a good idea to post your licenses into public forums with thousands of visitors and search robots. You may get your license black listed in a flash.

Ok, now I understand why you don't see the box, you are running an old build of version 10. Please update to the latest.

The best to avoid problems would be to first to remove your current ZA (take note of your license!) from XP(?) add/remove programs or WIN7 (?) uninstall a program. Then turn ON the windows firewall. Then download the latest build of ZAX from here: Looking for the latest version? and install.
